BengalBilly Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Looks like you guys won't be seeing him around here anymore. The Feds got him. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/01/papa-smurf-and-friends-arrested-in-mob-bust.html The FBI picked up 32 alleged members of the Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese crime families today, including ringleader Carmine "Papa Smurf" Franco, in a sweep on the garbage industry in New York and New Jersey. The group faces the usual array of charges — extortion, intimidation, etc. — as well as the illegal purchase of 100,000 cigarettes and the theft of a hot-dog cart, which surely earned someone a nickname.

BengalBilly Posted January 19, 2013 Author Posted January 19, 2013 Wop means "without papers". Italians were the early versions of todays Mexican illegal aliens. At least the Italians took the time to learn the language though. Quote
cravnravn Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 And now we fuckin run this country...Capeche Quote
dc. Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Crav... it's capisce Meanwhile, without making this toooooo much of a political debate, Billy, I would argue about just how much early immigrants learned the language. Enough to get by, of course, and some more than others - you can't overly generalize. But plenty avoided English as much as possible. I think your comparison - or contrast, rather - is off. Quote
cravnravn Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 My great grandmother arrived in 1912 at statton island, and settled north of Pittsburgh and started my family, she died in 1989 at the young ole age of 96...Could speak a lick of English...lol, I was always Yanni, and my Sister was Leeza, but dam she could make an easter bread, and home made sauce and pasta..
